Although there is no option to choose your preferred availability zone, Azure may move or expand LRS accounts across zones to improve load balancing. LRS provides at least 99.999999999% (11 nines) durability of objects over a given year.

Azure may move or expand LRS accounts across zones to improve load balancing. LRS provides at least 99.999999999% (11 nines) durability of objects over a given year. Visit the [What are Azure availability zones](../../reliability/availability-zones-overview.md) article to learn more about availability zone reliability. LRS is the lowest-cost redundancy option and offers the least durability compared to other options. LRS protects your data against server rack and drive failures. However, if a disaster such as fire or flooding occurs within the data center, all replicas of a storage account using LRS might be lost or unrecoverable. To mitigate this risk, Microsoft recommends using [zone-redundant storage](#zone-redundant-storage) (ZRS), [geo-redundant storage](#geo-redundant-storage) (GRS), or [geo-zone-redundant storage](#geo-zone-redundant-storage) (GZRS).
